One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for clients in Paonia battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low enough amounts the individual doesn't feel high but also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are alternative options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. A person taking this formulation, AKA 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 is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med taken 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, the drug prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
