One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for individuals in Glenwood battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. With low amounts however, the client does not experience being high and also does not have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are other options to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. 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 unlike Methadone that can only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
