One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for clients in Falls Creek battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low enough amounts the individual does not feel high but also does not have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are alternative options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the drug, which 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 one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about just under $300 a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, 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 in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
