One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for people in Carmen who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to administer specific medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low doses the user does not experience high feelings but also does not have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are a few more options to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone 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 too is taken every day, and is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's 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, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
