One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for clients in Canby who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low doses however, the client doesn't experience being high and also does not have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. A person taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
