One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for individuals in Ransom who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low enough amounts however, the user does not experience high feelings but also does not experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars /month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. A person taking this version of the drug, 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 is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
