One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for clients in Hunnewell who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. With low doses the user doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. A person 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 is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person 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 per month.
