One of the out-patient treatment options for clients in Goodwell battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low doses the user doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are other options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual 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 on a daily basis, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, 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 shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
