One of the out-patient treatment options for individuals in Hadley struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low enough amounts however, the user does not experience high feelings and also does not have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone 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 costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
