One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for individuals in Lake Nebagamon who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low enough amounts however, the client does not experience high feelings but also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are a few more options to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate 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 $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars /month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
