One of the out-patient treatment options for people in Avondale battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low doses however, the client does not experience high feelings and also doesn't have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. 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.
