One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for clients in Dennis Port struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low doses the individual doesn't experience being high but also doesn't have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are alternative choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. 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 every day, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
