One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for people in Treloar who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low doses the client doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are alternative choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300 per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking 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 is also taken daily, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
