One of the outpatient treatment options for individuals in Carbon who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. In low enough doses the user does not experience being high but also does not have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are a few more choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, also known as 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 about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
