One of the out-patient treatment options for clients in Sarona who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to administer specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low enough amounts the user does not feel high and also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are other options to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug 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 monthly.
