One of the out-patient treatment options for clients in Woodson Terrace struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids also and are addiction. In low enough amounts however, the individual doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are other options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual consuming 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 on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
