One of the out-patient treatment options for people in Jacksboro struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low amounts the user doesn't experience being high but also doesn't have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are other choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
