One of the outpatient treatment options for clients in Rumford who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low amounts the individual doesn't feel high and also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this sole purpose, but there are other choices to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300 monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
