One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for individuals in Dowell who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low enough doses however, the client doesn't feel high and also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
