One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for clients in Waynesfield battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low enough doses however, the client doesn't feel high and also does not experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
