One of the out-patient treatment options for people in Hilltop struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low amounts however, the user doesn't experience being high and also does not experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
