One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for people in Wanakena who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low enough amounts however, the user does not feel high and also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are alternative choices to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't 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 someone from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
