One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for people in Feesburg who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. In low enough amounts however, the client does not experience high feelings and also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are alternative options to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300 /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
