One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for clients in New Harbor who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low enough amounts however, the user doesn't experience high feelings but also does not have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this purpose, but there are other options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300 per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this version of the drug, also known as 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 around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that 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 in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
