One of the out-patient treatment options for individuals in Mc Bride who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low enough doses the client doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300 monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
