One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for clients in Palm Desert who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids also and are addiction. In low amounts however, the user does not experience high feelings and also doesn't have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are alternative options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. A person taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
