One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for people in Oak City who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low amounts however, the client doesn't feel high and also doesn't have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are a few more choices to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which reverses 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 every day, and costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone 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 monthly.
