One of the out-patient treatment options for clients in Patton who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low amounts the user does not feel high but also does not have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are other options to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300.00 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
