One of the outpatient treatment options for people in Loup City who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low enough doses however, the client does not experience being high but also does not have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this purpose, but there are other choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. 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 approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which 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 shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
