One of the out-patient treatment options for individuals in Doyle battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. With low enough amounts the client doesn't experience being high and also does not have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are other options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. A person taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is 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 an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
