One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for individuals in Polebridge struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. With low doses the user doesn't experience high feelings and also does not experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this reason, but there are other options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
