One of the out-patient rehab options for clients in Antelope who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low enough amounts the individual doesn't experience high feelings and also does not have acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are other options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around just under $300 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
