One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for people in Bowdon struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low enough doses the client does not experience being high and also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. A person 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 too is taken daily, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
