One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for individuals in Greentop who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low doses the client doesn't experience being high but also does not experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about just under $300 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate 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, it prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
