One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for people in Dodgeville who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low amounts the client doesn't experience being high but also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience being 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.
