One of the outpatient treatment options for people in Council Grove who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low enough amounts however, the individual does not experience high feelings but also doesn't have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are other choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 /month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication 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 in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
