One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for people in Brownstown battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low amounts however, the individual doesn't feel high and also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are a few more choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
