One of the out-patient treatment options for people in Encinal who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. With low amounts however, the user doesn't feel high but also does not have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are other choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. A person taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
