One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for people in Ravenna who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. In low enough doses however, the individual does not experience being high but also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
