One of the outpatient treatment options for individuals in Byfield who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low enough doses however, the client doesn't feel high and also does not have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are a few more options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
