One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for people in Blodgett struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. In low enough amounts however, the individual does not experience being high and also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are other options to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and is not 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 a person from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
