One of the outpatient treatment options for people in Rushville who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low enough amounts however, the individual doesn't experience high feelings and also does not experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are a few more choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which reverses 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 every day, and costs approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs 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, it prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
