One of the outpatient treatment options for clients in Needmore who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low enough amounts the client does not feel high but also does not have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are other choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
