One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for people in Hilliard who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low doses however, the client does not experience high feelings but also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are other options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a 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 administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. A person taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
