One of the outpatient treatment options for people in Pruden who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. With low amounts however, the client does not feel high but also does not experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
