One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for clients in Crossville struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low amounts the individual does not experience high feelings and also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate 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 medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
