One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for individuals in Ellenburg who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids also and are addiction. With low enough amounts the user does not feel high and also doesn't experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are a few more options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
