One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for people in Mannsville who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low amounts however, the individual doesn't feel high and also does not have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it 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.
