One of the outpatient treatment options for individuals in Eagan who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low amounts however, the user does not experience high feelings and also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are a few more options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. An individual 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 daily, and is priced around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
