One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for individuals in Kinsman struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low amounts however, the individual does not experience high feelings and also does not experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are a few more options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, also known as 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 around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
