One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for people in Hull who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low enough amounts however, the user doesn't experience high feelings and also does not experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are other choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300 per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. A person taking 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 costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned 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 in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
