One of the outpatient treatment options for people in Challenge who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. With low enough amounts the client does not experience being high and also does not experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are other options to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars a month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone 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 another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual 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.
