One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for individuals in Central Village who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids also and are addiction. In low doses the individual doesn't experience being high and also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are alternative choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
