One of the out-patient treatment options for people in Meeteetse battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low doses the individual does not feel high and also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars a month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
