One of the outpatient treatment options for people in Tohatchi who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to administer specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. With low amounts the user does not experience high feelings and also does not have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are other choices to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars per month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. A person taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also 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's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
