One of the outpatient treatment options for individuals in Hominy who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low enough doses however, the client does not experience high feelings but also does not have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are other choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. A person taking this version of the drug, 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 costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
