One of the out-patient treatment options for individuals in Stover struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low enough doses the client does not experience high feelings and also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are alternative options to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, which 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 in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be given in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
