One of the outpatient treatment options for people in Strasburg struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low amounts however, the individual does not experience high feelings and also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are other options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around just under $300 /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
