One of the out-patient treatment options for individuals in Battleboro who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. In low doses however, the individual doesn't experience being high and also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are alternative options to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. 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 daily, and costs approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that 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 shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
