One of the out-patient treatment options for individuals in Chiloquin battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low doses the individual doesn't feel high but also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are other options to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about just under $300 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, 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 around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
