One of the outpatient treatment options for individuals in Brookland who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low enough doses the client does not experience high feelings and also does not experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this sole purpose, but there are other options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about just under $300 per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
