One of the out-patient treatment options for people in Zoar who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low doses the client doesn't feel high and also does not experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are a few more choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication used 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 injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
