One of the outpatient treatment options for people in Mora battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low doses however, the individual doesn't experience being high but also does not have acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are other options to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone taking 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 on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug 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 /month.
