One of the out-patient treatment options for individuals in Shawville who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. In low enough doses however, the client doesn't feel high and also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are alternative options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can 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 around $300 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming 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 about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
