One of the out-patient treatment options for individuals in Crossett who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to administer specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low amounts however, the user doesn't feel high and also does not have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are alternative options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. A person taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate 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, the drug prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
