One of the out-patient treatment options for people in Wallace who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low doses however, the user doesn't experience being high but also does not experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are alternative options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
