One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for people in Taylor who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low amounts however, the client doesn't experience being high and also does not have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are alternative options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't 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 an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
