One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Stockton who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low amounts the individual doesn't experience being high and also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are alternative choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
