One of the outpatient treatment options for individuals in Pritchett who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low enough doses however, the user doesn't experience high feelings but also does not experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are a few more options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
