One of the out-patient rehab options for individuals in Neah Bay struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low enough doses however, the individual does not experience being high and also does not have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. A person taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
