One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for individuals in Kipling who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low enough doses however, the user does not experience high feelings but also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, 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 costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
