One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for clients in Glen Daniel who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. With low amounts the user does not feel high and also does not experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual taking 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 every day, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
