One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for clients in Memphis struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low amounts the client does not experience high feelings and also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are other choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming 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 per month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
