One of the out-patient treatment options for clients in Trout Lake who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low enough amounts however, the client does not feel high and also does not have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are alternative choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
