One of the out-patient treatment options for people in Park Valley battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low amounts the client does not experience high feelings and also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are a few more choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300 monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. A person 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 on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
