One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for people in Franklin Grove struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low enough doses however, the client does not feel high and also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
