One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for individuals in Sunshine battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low doses however, the client doesn't experience being high and also does not experience severe cravings and is not 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 outpatient clinic licensed to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be given in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300.00 a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
