One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for individuals in Red Creek who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low enough doses however, the user doesn't experience being high but also doesn't have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are a few more options to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this formulation, 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 is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
