One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Amargosa Valley who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low amounts the user does not experience high feelings and also doesn't have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this sole purpose, but there are other options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
