One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for people in Hebron who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low enough amounts however, the client doesn't experience being high but also does not experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are alternative choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost 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 unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
