One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for clients in Campbell battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low enough amounts the client doesn't experience high feelings and also does not experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 a 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 price monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 a month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. A person 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 is also taken daily, and costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
