One of the outpatient treatment options for people in Liberty battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low enough amounts the user doesn't experience high feelings but also does not have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are other choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
