One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for clients in Ridott battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low enough doses the individual does not experience high feelings and also doesn't have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are other options 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 daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced around $450 per month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
