One of the outpatient treatment options for individuals in Flat Lick who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low enough doses however, the individual doesn't experience being high and also does not have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, 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 injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
