One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for clients in Brandsville who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low enough amounts the user does not experience being high and also doesn't have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are other choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300.00 /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and is not 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 /month.
