One of the outpatient treatment options for individuals in Altenburg who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low doses however, the client doesn't feel high but also does not have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are other choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. A person taking this version of the drug, AKA 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 is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
