One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for individuals in Bingham struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. With low enough amounts however, the client doesn't experience high feelings but also does not experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are other options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
