One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for individuals in Hurdsfield who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low enough amounts the client does not experience high feelings but also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are other options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around just under $300 a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
