One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for individuals in Middleboro who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low amounts the user doesn't experience being high and also does not experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are other choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming 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 daily, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
