One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for clients in Willoughby battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids also and are addiction. With low amounts the individual does not experience being high but also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are other options to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
