One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for individuals in Lenore who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. In low enough doses the individual doesn't experience high feelings and also does not have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are a few more options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300.00 /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which 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 shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
