One of the out-patient treatment options for individuals in Morrison who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. In low enough doses however, the individual doesn't experience being high but also doesn't have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this sole purpose, but there are other options to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a 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 that can only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars /month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone taking 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 is also taken every day, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
