One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for clients in Dysart who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low enough amounts the individual does not feel high and also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this sole purpose, but there are other options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking this version of the drug, 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 daily, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is 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 someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
