One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for individuals in Little Mountain who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. In low amounts however, the client doesn't feel high but also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are a few more options to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate 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 structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this version of the drug, 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 every day, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
