One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for clients in Hollister who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low amounts however, the user does not experience being high and also doesn't have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
