One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for individuals in Mount Tremper who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low enough doses the user doesn't feel high and also does not experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, 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 anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
