One of the out-patient treatment options for people in Equality battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. With low amounts however, the user doesn't experience high feelings but also does not have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are a few more choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this version of the drug, 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 is priced about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
