One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for clients in Ipava who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low doses the individual doesn't experience being high and also does not have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are a few more options to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
