One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for individuals in Minto battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low doses however, the user doesn't feel high and also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual 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 is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
