One of the out-patient treatment options for people in Ivanhoe who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids also and are addictive. In low amounts however, the client doesn't experience being high and also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are other choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone 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 about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
