One of the out-patient treatment options for individuals in Dutzow who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. With low doses however, the individual does not experience being high and also does not have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around just under $300 a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
