One of the outpatient treatment options for individuals in Peosta battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low amounts however, the individual doesn't experience high feelings and also does not experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
