One of the out-patient treatment options for people in Ellenton battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low amounts however, the client doesn't experience high feelings but also does not have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are other choices to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
