One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for people in Sumner struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low enough doses the client does not experience high feelings and also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. 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 structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 /month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
