One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for individuals in San Perlita battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids also and are addictive. With low enough doses however, the individual does not feel high and also does not have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are other options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300.00 a month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
