One of the outpatient treatment options for people in Evadale who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. In low enough doses however, the client doesn't experience being high and also does not have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are a few more options 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 in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med taken 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 shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
