One of the out-patient treatment options for people in Ostrander struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low enough amounts however, the client doesn't experience being high but also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are a few more options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 a month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. 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 a month.
