One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for clients in Wyola battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low enough doses however, the client does not experience being high but also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are other choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. 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 too is taken every day, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
