One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for individuals in Langston who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low amounts however, the user does not experience high feelings and also doesn't have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about just under $300 a month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here 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, the drug prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
