One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for individuals in Lynwood who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low amounts the client doesn't experience being high but also does not experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are other choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 /month. 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. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which 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 injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
