One of the outpatient treatment options for individuals in Morrisdale who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low enough amounts however, the client does not feel high and also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this purpose, but there are alternative options to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate 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 an individual 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 a month.
