One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for individuals in Trafford struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids also and are addictive. With low enough doses however, the user doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are other options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking 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 another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual 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 monthly.
