One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Templeton who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. In low doses however, the individual doesn't experience being high but also does not experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are alternative options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone 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 is also taken every day, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
