One of the outpatient treatment options for people in Julian who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low enough doses the user doesn't feel high but also does not have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult 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 med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
