One of the out-patient treatment options for individuals in Armona who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low enough doses however, the individual does not feel high but also does not experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are a few more options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 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 which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get 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 used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. 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 being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
