One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for people in Glen Flora who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low doses the individual doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get 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 taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
