One of the out-patient treatment options for individuals in Verbank who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low enough amounts the individual doesn't feel high and also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are alternative options to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone 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 around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
