One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for individuals in Ancramdale battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. With low doses however, the user doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
