One of the outpatient treatment options for clients in Randlett struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low enough doses however, the client does not experience being high but also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are other options to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug 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 /month.
