One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for people in Buena Vista struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low amounts however, the client does not experience high feelings but also does not have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are alternative options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
