One of the outpatient treatment options for people in Mark who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. In low enough doses the individual doesn't feel high but also does not experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are other options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication 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 anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
