One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for individuals in Hilmar who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low enough doses however, the user doesn't experience being high and also does not experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are alternative choices to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking 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 is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
