One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for people in Oceanside struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low amounts the individual doesn't experience being high but also does not experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are other options to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
