One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for people in New Boston battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to administer specific medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low amounts however, the individual does not experience high feelings but also does not experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a 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 given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual 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 per month.
