One of the out-patient treatment options for individuals in Kahoka battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low enough amounts the user does not experience being high and also doesn't have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are a few more options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
