One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for individuals in Frenchville struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low enough doses however, the individual doesn't experience being high and also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are a few more choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, also known as 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 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
