One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for clients in Valdez struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low enough amounts the user does not feel high but also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this purpose, but there are other options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
