One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for individuals in Oolitic struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low doses however, the client does not experience high feelings but also does not have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, 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 per month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, 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 injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
