One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for people in Hargill who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids also and are addictive. With low enough doses however, the individual does not experience high feelings but also doesn't have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this purpose, but there are other options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this version of the drug, also known as 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 about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
