One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for clients in Sunnyside battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. In low amounts however, the client does not experience high feelings but also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are other options to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300.00 monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
