One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for individuals in Antonito battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low enough doses however, the individual does not experience being high but also does not have severe cravings and isn't experiencing 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, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
