One of the outpatient treatment options for individuals in Lime Springs who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. In low enough doses the client doesn't experience being high but also does not experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are other options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300 a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's 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 an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
