One of the outpatient treatment options for people in Golf who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. In low doses the user does not feel high but also does not experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this sole purpose, but there are other options to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. A person taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
