One of the out-patient rehab options for clients in San Felipe who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low doses the user does not experience high feelings and also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are a few more options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300.00 a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is 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, it prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
