One of the out-patient treatment options for individuals in East Newport battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low amounts however, the client does not feel high but also does not have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300.00 monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
