One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for people in Vredenburgh who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low doses however, the user doesn't experience high feelings and also does not experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are other choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300 a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. A person taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
