One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for individuals in South Jamesport struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low enough amounts however, the individual does not feel high but also doesn't have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this reason, but there are other choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around $150 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 given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med used 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 someone 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 per month.
