One of the outpatient treatment options for clients in Overgaard struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low amounts the client does not feel high and also does not experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are alternative options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced around $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
