One of the outpatient treatment options for people in Wathena struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low enough doses however, the client does not experience being high but also does not experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are other choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
