One of the outpatient treatment options for individuals in Center Sandwich who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low doses the client does not experience high feelings but also does not experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are alternative choices to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
