One of the outpatient treatment options for people in Colden who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low amounts the user doesn't experience high feelings but also does not have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are alternative choices to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking 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 around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
