One of the outpatient treatment options for people in Hortense who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low enough doses however, the user doesn't feel high and also doesn't have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this reason, but there are alternative choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the drug, 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 opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it 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 monthly.
