One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for people in Brady Lake struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low doses the individual doesn't experience high feelings and also does not have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are a few more options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
