One of the out-patient treatment options for people in Hoyt struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low enough amounts the individual doesn't feel high and also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are other choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300.00 /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this version of the drug, AKA 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 monthly. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
