One of the outpatient treatment options for people in Continental who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low amounts however, the individual doesn't experience high feelings and also does not have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are other options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be given in highly well-regulated medical centers, 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 version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
