One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for clients in Blacklick who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. In low enough amounts however, the individual doesn't experience high feelings but also does not have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be given in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. A person taking 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 about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug 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 monthly.
