One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for individuals in Oscar struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low amounts however, the user does not experience being high and also doesn't have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are alternative choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 /month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. A person taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
