One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for clients in Ashburn who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low enough doses the user does not experience high feelings and also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are other options to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around $150 a 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 given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate 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, the drug prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
