One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for people in Delaplaine battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low doses the user doesn't feel high and also does not experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300.00 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken 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, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
