One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for individuals in Inkom struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low doses however, the client does not experience high feelings and also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone taking this formulation, AKA 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 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
