One of the out-patient treatment options for people in Bruceville who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low amounts the individual does not experience being high and also does not have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that 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 injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
