One of the outpatient rehab options for clients in Sheldon Springs struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low doses however, the user does not experience high feelings and also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this sole purpose, but there are other options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
