One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for people in Culver struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low doses however, the user doesn't experience high feelings but also does not have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 a month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, AKA 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 about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken 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 injection, 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 anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
