One of the outpatient treatment options for people in Seibert struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low amounts however, the individual does not experience high feelings but also does not experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are alternative choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone taking 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 too is taken daily, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone 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.
