One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for clients in Donnelly who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low doses the client does not feel high but also does not have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are other choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the drug, which 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 a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 /month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which reverses 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 too is taken every day, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which 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 /month.
