One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for individuals in Mortons Gap battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low enough doses the individual doesn't experience high feelings but also does not experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are other options to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300.00 /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, AKA 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 about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
