One of the outpatient treatment options for clients in Santa Fe who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low amounts the user doesn't experience being high and also doesn't experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are alternative options to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. A person taking this formulation, also known as 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 about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate 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, it prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
