One of the outpatient treatment options for individuals in Ville Platte who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low enough amounts the individual does not experience being high but also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are other options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
