One of the outpatient treatment options for clients in Manchester struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. In low doses the user does not feel high but also does not experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are other choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300 per month for the generic version of the drug. 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, 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 around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
