One of the out-patient treatment options for people in Liberty who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low enough amounts however, the client does not experience high feelings and also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 /month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
