One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for individuals in Crocketville struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low enough doses however, the individual doesn't experience being high and also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are other options to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the drug, 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 every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
