One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for individuals in Jeffersonville who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low enough amounts the user doesn't experience high feelings and also does not have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are alternative choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300 a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
