One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for clients in Stratford who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low enough amounts the individual doesn't experience being high but also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this reason, but there are other options to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300.00 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. A person taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
