One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for clients in Keyesport who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low enough doses the client doesn't feel high but also doesn't have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are a few more choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. A person 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 on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
