One of the outpatient treatment options for clients in Campobello who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low doses however, the individual does not experience being high and also does not experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around $150 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 that is only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. A person taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
