One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for people in Antioch who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low amounts however, the user doesn't experience high feelings and also does not experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are a few more choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
