One of the outpatient treatment options for clients in Clarence Center who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low doses the user does not experience being high but also does not experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, 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 daily, and is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
