One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for people in Blackwell struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. In low doses the client doesn't experience being high and also does not experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
