One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for individuals in Chana who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. In low doses however, the user doesn't experience being high and also does not experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are other choices to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be given in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
