One of the outpatient treatment options for individuals in East Sparta who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids also and are addictive. With low doses however, the individual does not experience being high but also does not experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are a few more choices to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, 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 on a daily basis, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug 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.
