One of the outpatient treatment options for individuals in Taylor battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. In low enough amounts the client doesn't feel high and also does not experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. A person taking this formulation, 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 is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
