One of the out-patient treatment options for individuals in Bluffton struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low amounts the individual doesn't experience high feelings and also does not have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are a few more choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone 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.
