One of the out-patient rehab options for clients in Loco Hills who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. In low enough amounts the individual doesn't feel high but also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this sole purpose, but there are other options to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, 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 daily, and costs around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
