One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for people in Rollingbay struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low doses the individual doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are other choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
