One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for clients in Granite Shoals battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low enough doses the user doesn't feel high and also does not experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this sole purpose, but there are other options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 a 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 opioids. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
