One of the out-patient treatment options for individuals in Genoa battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low doses the individual does not experience being high and also does not experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this reason, but there are other choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
