One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for individuals in Centreville battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low enough doses however, the individual doesn't experience being high but also does not have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are alternative choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
