One of the out-patient treatment options for individuals in Linn Grove who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low enough amounts the user doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this sole purpose, but there are other choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill 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 price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
