One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for individuals in Patterson who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to administer specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids also and are addictive. With low enough amounts however, the individual does not experience being high but also does not experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are alternative choices to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug 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 monthly.
