One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for people in Hills battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. In low doses however, the client does not experience high feelings but also doesn't have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are alternative options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars /month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming 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 on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
