One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for clients in Pratt struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. In low doses the client doesn't experience being high and also does not have acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300 monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med used 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, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
