One of the outpatient treatment options for clients in Bostwick who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low amounts the user doesn't experience being high but also does not experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are other choices to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
