One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for individuals in Deering who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low enough amounts however, the client does not experience high feelings and also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are a few more options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the med, that 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 every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about just under $300 a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate 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, it prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
