One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for individuals in Halltown who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low enough doses however, the individual does not experience being high but also does not experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this sole purpose, but there are other choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the med, which 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 administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
