One of the out-patient treatment options for clients in Knobel battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids also and are addiction. In low amounts the individual does not feel high and also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are other choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
