One of the out-patient treatment options for people in Stringtown battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low enough amounts the client doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
