One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for clients in Chewalla struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids also and are addictive. With low amounts the client does not experience high feelings but also doesn't experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are alternative choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
