One of the outpatient treatment options for individuals in Browns Valley battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low doses however, the client doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are other options to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. A person taking 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 on a daily basis, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
