One of the out-patient treatment options for people in Starkweather struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low doses however, the client does not experience high feelings but also does not experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are a few more options to choose 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 cost of the drug is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. A person taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder 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 mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
