One of the out-patient treatment options for people in South Royalton who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids also and are addictive. With low doses the client doesn't feel high but also does not have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are other choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
