One of the outpatient treatment options for clients in Vernon who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low enough doses the client doesn't experience being high and also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this sole purpose, but there are other options to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is about $150 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 that is only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't 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 high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
