One of the out-patient treatment options for people in Cloverdale who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low enough amounts the client does not experience high feelings but also doesn't have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are a few more options to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to 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 around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 /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 opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
