One of the out-patient treatment options for clients in Sundance struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. In low enough amounts however, the individual doesn't experience being high but also does not experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are alternative options to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 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 which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced around $450 per month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it 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.
