One of the outpatient treatment options for people in Kingman who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low enough amounts the user does not experience being high but also does not have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are alternative options to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
