One of the out-patient treatment options for people in Bear Branch struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids also and are addictive. With low enough amounts the individual doesn't feel high and also does not have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are a few more options to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med 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 is only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming 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 about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
