One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for individuals in Clare battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. With low amounts the user does not experience high feelings and also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are a few more choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
