One of the out-patient treatment options for individuals in Wheeler Army Airfield who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low enough doses however, the user does not experience high feelings and also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be given 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 monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
