One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for individuals in Bairoil who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low enough doses however, the individual doesn't feel high but also doesn't experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are other options to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone taking 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 is also taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
