One of the out-patient treatment options for individuals in Olive Branch who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids also and are addiction. With low enough doses however, the client doesn't feel high but also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
