One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for people in Presidio who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low amounts however, the client does not experience high feelings but also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are other options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug 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 that can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
