One of the outpatient treatment options for people in West Boxford struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low enough amounts the individual doesn't experience being high but also does not have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
