One of the out-patient treatment options for people in Bunker struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low enough amounts the individual doesn't experience high feelings and also does not have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are a few more options to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, 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 on a daily basis, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
