One of the outpatient treatment options for clients in Severance who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low enough doses the user does not experience being high and also does not experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are a few more options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug 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 /month.
