One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for individuals in Tuttle battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids also and are addictive. With low doses the individual does not feel high but also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug 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 injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
