One of the outpatient treatment options for individuals in Ahwahnee battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. With low amounts however, the individual does not experience high feelings but also doesn't have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are a few more choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300 per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience being 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.
