One of the outpatient treatment options for clients in Greene who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low enough amounts the individual does not experience being high and also does not experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
