One of the outpatient treatment options for clients in Bluewater who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low doses the user does not feel high but also doesn't experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this sole purpose, but there are other options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. 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 being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
