One of the out-patient treatment options for individuals in Tolland battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. With low doses the client doesn't feel high but also does not have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are a few more options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill 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 prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming 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 on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
