One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for clients in Pell City battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. With low amounts the user doesn't experience being high and also does not experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this sole purpose, but there are other choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, which 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 a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
