One of the outpatient treatment options for people in Madison Lake battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low doses however, the individual does not feel high but also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are other choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 /month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
