One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for individuals in Loyalhanna struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids also and are addiction. In low enough amounts the user doesn't feel high and also does not have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone 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 is also taken every day, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone 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.
