One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for people in Ford struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low enough doses however, the client doesn't experience being high and also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are other options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. 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 given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone 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 daily, and costs around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
