One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for clients in Dewey who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low enough amounts however, the user doesn't experience being high and also does not have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this formulation, 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 about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
