One of the outpatient treatment options for clients in Long Pine who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low enough doses however, the client doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are a few more options to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
