One of the outpatient treatment options for clients in Orosi struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low enough doses however, the individual does not experience high feelings but also does not experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
