One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for clients in Sharon who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low amounts however, the client doesn't feel high and also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are other options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. A person 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 is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
