One of the out-patient treatment options for clients in Hoffmeister who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low doses however, the individual does not experience high feelings and also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are other choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around just under $300 /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
