One of the outpatient treatment options for clients in Roland struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low enough doses however, the individual doesn't feel high but also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are other choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300 a month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. 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 too is taken daily, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
