One of the outpatient treatment options for individuals in Grand Canyon struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low enough doses however, the individual doesn't feel high and also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
