One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Ruby Valley battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low enough amounts the individual does not experience being high and also does not experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are alternative choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
