One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for individuals in Avinger who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low doses however, the user does not experience being high and also does not have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are other choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug 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 is only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this version of the drug, 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 costs around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
