One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Paradise Valley battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. In low amounts the client doesn't experience high feelings and also does not have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are a few more choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
