One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for people in Hazen struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low enough doses however, the client doesn't experience being high and also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are a few more options to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be 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 drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. 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 is also taken every day, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
