One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for individuals in Adamsburg who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. In low enough amounts the user doesn't feel high and also does not have acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are other options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this version of the drug, 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 daily, and is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
