One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for people in Basom who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids also and are addictive. In low amounts however, the individual does not feel high and also doesn't have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are a few more options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300.00 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
