One of the outpatient treatment options for clients in Beckley struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low enough amounts the user doesn't experience high feelings and also does not have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are other options to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming 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 too is taken every day, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
