One of the outpatient treatment options for people in Lazbuddie battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. With low doses however, the user does not experience high feelings but also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this reason, but there are other options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, AKA 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 costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't 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 in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
