One of the out-patient treatment options for people in Takotna who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low enough amounts the user does not experience high feelings but also does not experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are a few more choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual 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 too is taken every day, and is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications 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 a person from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
