One of the outpatient treatment options for clients in Clarence who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low amounts however, the user doesn't experience being high but also does not experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are alternative choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 /month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone 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 is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
