One of the out-patient treatment options for individuals in Hawk Run who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. In low amounts the individual doesn't feel high but also does not have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual 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 /month.
