One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for individuals in Fordyce battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low doses the individual doesn't experience being high but also does not experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are other options to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
