One of the outpatient treatment options for clients in Quinton battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids also and are addiction. In low enough doses the individual doesn't experience being high but also does not have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are other options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. Someone taking this formulation, also known as 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 is priced about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
