One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for clients in Rosenhayn who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to administer specific medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low enough amounts however, the user does not feel high but also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are other choices to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. An individual 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 on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is 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 getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
