One of the outpatient treatment options for people in Stacy who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low amounts the individual doesn't experience being high and also does not experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. A person 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 on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
