One of the out-patient treatment options for individuals in Xenia who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low enough amounts however, the user doesn't feel high and also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this purpose, but there are other choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's 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 an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
