One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for individuals in Ottoville who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. In low enough doses the individual doesn't experience being high and also does not have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual 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 is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
