One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for individuals in Richton struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to administer specific medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. With low doses the user does not experience being high but also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are a few more options to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
