One of the out-patient treatment options for individuals in Zionhill who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low enough doses however, the individual doesn't feel high but also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are a few more choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
