One of the outpatient treatment options for individuals in Almyra who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low enough doses however, the user does not feel high but also does not experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. A person taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
