One of the out-patient treatment options for people in Jasper struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low enough doses however, the client does not experience being high and also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are other choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this version of the drug, 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 about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. 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 feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
