One of the outpatient treatment options for people in Baskerville who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low doses the individual doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are a few more options to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't 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 an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
