One of the outpatient treatment options for people in Coalinga battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low amounts however, the client doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are other options to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not 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 getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
