One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for individuals in La Luz who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. In low enough doses the user doesn't experience being high and also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are alternative choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
