One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for individuals in Boiceville who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low enough amounts however, the client does not feel high but also does not have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are a few more choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
