One of the outpatient treatment options for individuals in Grand Lake who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. In low enough doses the individual does not feel high but also does not experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are other choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around $150 a 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 can only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300.00 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate 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, it prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
