One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for people in Mineville who are struggling with opioid dependence 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 also and are addictive. With low doses the user doesn't feel high but also doesn't have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that 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 shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
