One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for people in Esbon who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. In low amounts however, the client does not feel high but also does not have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are other choices to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, 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 and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, also known as 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 costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
