One of the outpatient treatment options for individuals in Laketown battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low amounts the user doesn't feel high and also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are a few more options to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, AKA 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 approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
