One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for people in Crocker who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low enough doses the client doesn't feel high but also does not experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this purpose, but there are other options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately $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 which can only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars a month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
