One of the out-patient treatment options for individuals in Courtland struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. In low amounts however, the user doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are a few more options to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300 /month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which 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 shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
