One of the outpatient treatment options for individuals in Argonia who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. With low doses the user does not feel high and also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are other options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking 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 costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
