One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Moffett struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low amounts however, the individual does not experience being high and also does not have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are alternative options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300 per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
