One of the outpatient rehab options for clients in Van who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low amounts the user does not feel high and also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are a few more choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
