One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for individuals in Hamlin battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low enough doses the user doesn't experience being high and also doesn't have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly 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 monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. A person taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
