One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for people in Noxon who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low enough amounts the user does not experience high feelings but also does not experience acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this sole purpose, but there are other choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, also known as 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 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
