One of the outpatient treatment options for individuals in Centerview who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low enough amounts however, the client doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, 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 daily, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
