One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for clients in Hamilton City struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low enough amounts however, the client does not feel high and also doesn't have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are other choices 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 daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
