One of the out-patient treatment options for clients in Center Valley who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low doses however, the individual does not feel high but also does not experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are alternative choices to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 a month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
