One of the outpatient treatment options for people in Middleport who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids also and are addiction. In low amounts however, the user doesn't experience high feelings but also does not have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are a few more choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300.00 monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug 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 in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
