One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for people in Earp struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low enough doses the client does not experience being high and also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around under $200 per 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 is only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from getting 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.
