One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for individuals in Bluemont struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low enough amounts the individual doesn't feel high and also does not experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking this version of the drug, AKA 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 approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
