One of the outpatient treatment options for people in Ward Cove who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low enough doses however, the user doesn't feel high but also does not experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. A person taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
