One of the out-patient treatment options for clients in Haw River who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low enough doses the individual does not experience being high but also doesn't have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are other options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, also known as 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 approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it 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 /month.
