One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Penrose battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. In low enough doses the client does not experience high feelings and also does not experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this reason, but there are a few more options to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that 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 is also taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
