One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for individuals in Allendale battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low doses however, the individual does not experience being high and also does not have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are a few more options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it 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 monthly.
