One of the outpatient treatment options for individuals in Kaktovik who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low amounts however, the user doesn't experience being high and also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are other options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
