One of the out-patient treatment options for people in Roberts who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low doses the client doesn't feel high and also does not experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are other choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
