One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for people in Briscoe struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low enough amounts the user doesn't experience being high and also does not have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are alternative choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300.00 monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
