One of the out-patient treatment options for people in Cascade battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low enough amounts the client does not experience being high and also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are alternative options to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
