One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for people in Black Creek struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids also and are addictive. With low enough doses the user does not feel high and also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this sole purpose, but there are other options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person 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.
