One of the out-patient treatment options for clients in Claysburg battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low doses however, the user doesn't experience high feelings but also does not have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are alternative choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
