One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for individuals in Hollis struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low amounts the user doesn't experience high feelings but also does not have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are a few more options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 per month for the generic of the medication. 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 more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
