One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for clients in Zenia who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to administer specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low amounts the individual does not experience being high but also does not experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300 /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
