One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Riverside who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low amounts the individual does not feel high and also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are alternative options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price 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 every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
