One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for people in Rosie who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. With low enough doses however, the client doesn't experience being high but also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, 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 daily, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, 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 injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
