One of the outpatient treatment options for clients in Newport who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low amounts however, the client doesn't feel high but also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis 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 med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be given in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. A person taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
