One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for clients in Matlock who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. In low amounts however, the user doesn't feel high but also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are alternative choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. A person taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
