One of the outpatient treatment options for people in Snydertown battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low enough amounts however, the client does not experience being high and also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are other choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
