One of the outpatient treatment options for individuals in Masontown who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to administer specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low doses however, the client doesn't feel high and also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are alternative options to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned 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 experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
