One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for individuals in Kingsland who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. With low doses the client doesn't feel high and also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are other choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about under $200 per month. 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 given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. A person taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. 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 getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
