One of the out-patient treatment options for individuals in Oak View who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low doses the individual doesn't experience being high but also does not experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are a few more options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. 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 is only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, 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 injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
