One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Pomona struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. In low enough doses however, the client does not experience high feelings and also does not experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are other choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
