One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for clients in South Gardiner who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low amounts the individual does not experience being high and also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are alternative choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate 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 opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
