One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for people in Conchas Dam who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low amounts however, the client does not experience being high but also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are alternative choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
