One of the outpatient treatment options for individuals in Fredonia who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low enough doses the user does not feel high but also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking 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 is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
