One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for people in Kenoza Lake struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low doses however, the client doesn't experience being high but also does not have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are alternative choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med taken 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 medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone 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.
