One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for people in Clarksville who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low enough doses however, the individual does not experience being high and also does not have acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are alternative options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate 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, the drug prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
