One of the outpatient treatment options for clients in Ackworth struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low doses however, the client doesn't feel high and also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are alternative options to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate 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, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
