One of the outpatient treatment options for people in Yancey who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low amounts however, the user does not feel high but also does not experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are other choices to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, 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 is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
