One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for people in West Leisenring who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low amounts the client doesn't experience being high and also doesn't experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are alternative options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
