One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for individuals in Karnak battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low amounts however, the user does not experience high feelings but also doesn't experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are a few more options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. A person 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 daily, and costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
