One of the outpatient treatment options for individuals in Sanborn struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low enough doses the individual doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are other choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
