One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for individuals in Fairmount struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low doses however, the user doesn't experience high feelings and also does not experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300.00 /month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
