One of the outpatient treatment options for clients in Bath Springs who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low enough amounts however, the client does not experience being high and also doesn't experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are other options to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. A person taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
