One of the out-patient treatment options for people in Sherburn struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids also and are addictive. In low enough amounts the user does not experience being high but also does not experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
