One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for people in Fountain who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. In low amounts the client doesn't experience being high but also doesn't have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are alternative choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not 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 injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
