One of the outpatient treatment options for people in Polvadera who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low doses the user doesn't experience being high but also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are alternative choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about $150 per 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 medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
