One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for people in Converse who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low enough amounts however, the individual doesn't feel high but also doesn't have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are other options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
