One of the outpatient treatment options for people in Butte Des Morts battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low doses however, the individual doesn't experience being high and also does not have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are a few more choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this version of the drug, 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 approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
