One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for people in Marrero who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low doses the individual does not experience being high and also does not have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are alternative options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication used 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 shot, which 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 /month.
