One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for people in Salona who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. With low doses the individual doesn't feel high and also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are a few more choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
