One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for individuals in Claremont who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low enough amounts the individual doesn't experience being high but also does not have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this sole purpose, but there are other options to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
