One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for clients in Pence Springs who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low enough doses however, the user doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are alternative choices to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 a month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which 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 shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
