One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for individuals in Wall Lake who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low doses the user doesn't experience high feelings and also does not have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are a few more choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can 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 med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which 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 in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
