One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for individuals in Hueytown who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low amounts however, the client does not feel high and also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which 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 injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
