One of the out-patient treatment options for individuals in Nobleboro struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low enough doses however, the individual does not feel high but also does not experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid 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 getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
