One of the outpatient treatment options for people in Cranberry Lake battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low doses however, the individual doesn't feel high and also does not experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are alternative options to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this version of the drug, 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 daily, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
