One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for clients in Cloverdale who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low doses the user does not experience high feelings but also does not experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
