One of the outpatient rehab options for people in Crystal Bay battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low enough doses the user does not feel high and also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are other options to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here 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, the drug prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
