One of the out-patient treatment options for individuals in Bentley struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids also and are addiction. In low amounts the user doesn't feel high and also does not have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are a few more choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300 a 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. An individual 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 is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. 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 injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
