One of the out-patient treatment options for people in Zeigler battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low enough amounts the client does not experience being high but also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are other choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the med, which is taken daily 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 every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars per month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
