One of the outpatient treatment options for people in Buxton battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids also and are addiction. In low enough doses the client does not experience high feelings and also doesn't have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are other options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. A person taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
