One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for individuals in Reynoldsburg who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. With low amounts the client does not experience high feelings and also does not experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
