One of the out-patient treatment options for people in College Place who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low doses the user does not experience high feelings but also doesn't experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are a few more options to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300 monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. A person taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from getting 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.
