One of the outpatient treatment options for clients in North Newton who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low amounts however, the individual does not feel high and also doesn't have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are a few more choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. A person taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
