One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for clients in Greens Fork battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low enough amounts the user doesn't feel high but also does not experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are other choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300.00 /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. A person taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
