One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for clients in Granville who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. In low enough amounts the user doesn't experience being high but also does not have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are other choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
