One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for clients in Los Ybanez struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low enough amounts however, the user doesn't feel high but also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are a few more options to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
