One of the out-patient treatment options for individuals in Jeffersonville battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. With low enough amounts the client doesn't experience being high and also does not have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are alternative choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
