One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for people in Clinton who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low amounts however, the user doesn't experience high feelings and also does not experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are other options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around $150 a 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 that can only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
