One of the outpatient treatment options for individuals in Lodge who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low enough doses the user does not experience high feelings and also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are other options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
