One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for people in Depue who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. With low enough amounts the user does not experience high feelings and also does not have acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are alternative options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. 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 feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
