One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for people in Junction City struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. In low amounts the user does not experience being high and also does not have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are other choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
