One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for individuals in Point Of Rocks struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. With low enough doses however, the client does not experience being high and also doesn't have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this purpose, but there are alternative choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 /month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone 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 too is taken daily, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
