One of the out-patient treatment options for clients in Deer Lodge struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low enough doses the individual doesn't experience being high and also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking 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 too is taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that 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 injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
