One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for individuals in National Stock Yards struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low doses the individual doesn't experience being high and also doesn't have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are other choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
