One of the out-patient treatment options for clients in South Colby who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. With low doses the client does not feel high but also doesn't have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are other choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
