One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for people in Purcellville who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. With low amounts however, the user does not feel high and also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are a few more options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking 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 every day, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
