One of the out-patient treatment options for clients in Sunfield who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to administer specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. With low doses however, the client does not experience high feelings but also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are alternative choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300 a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. 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 feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
