One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for people in Ozawkie battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low doses however, the user doesn't experience being high but also does not have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are other options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
