One of the outpatient treatment options for people in Caballo struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low amounts the user does not experience high feelings but also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are alternative choices to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300 /month for the generic of the drug. 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, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
