One of the out-patient treatment options for individuals in Wallins Creek battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low doses the client does not feel high and also does not have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this purpose, but there are a few more options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
