One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for individuals in Milton Mills who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids also and are addiction. In low enough amounts however, the client does not experience high feelings but also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are other choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice 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 therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
