One of the outpatient treatment options for individuals in Lewistown who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low amounts however, the client does not experience being high and also does not experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are other choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
