One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for people in Millersville who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low doses however, the individual does not experience high feelings but also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
