One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for individuals in Ibapah battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to administer specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. With low enough amounts the user does not experience high feelings and also does not experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are alternative options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't 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 a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
