One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for individuals in Bath who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low amounts the client doesn't experience being high but also does not have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are alternative options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars /month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
