One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for individuals in Cornish struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids also and are addictive. In low doses however, the individual doesn't experience high feelings but also does not have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this purpose, but there are other choices to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, 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 is priced around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
