One of the out-patient treatment options for clients in Goodway who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low amounts however, the individual does not feel high and also does not have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are other choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. A person taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opiate blocker and is not 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 an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
