One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for individuals in Camp Nelson battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. In low amounts the client does not feel high and also doesn't experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are a few more choices to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-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 and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this version of the drug, 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 around $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications 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 a person from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
