One of the out-patient rehab options for clients in Black Diamond struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low enough doses the individual does not experience high feelings and also does not experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are other options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid 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 getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
