One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for individuals in Beaver Bay struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low enough doses however, the individual doesn't experience being high and also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around just under $300 a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
