One of the out-patient treatment options for people in Camp Dennison who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. With low enough doses however, the individual does not experience being high and also does not have acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are other options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
