One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for individuals in Gonzalez who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. In low amounts the user doesn't experience being high but also does not experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are a few more options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. A person taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, 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 injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
