One of the out-patient treatment options for individuals in Mcdonald who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low enough doses however, the individual doesn't experience being high but also doesn't have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300 per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. 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 experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
