One of the out-patient treatment options for people in Macdoel battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low doses the user doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this sole purpose, but there are other choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. A person 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 daily, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned 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 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.
