One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for individuals in Breda struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low enough amounts however, the client doesn't experience being high and also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are a few more choices to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
