One of the outpatient treatment options for clients in Sagola who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low doses however, the client does not experience being high but also does not have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are other options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone 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 every day, and costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
