One of the outpatient treatment options for clients in Luther who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low amounts however, the individual doesn't experience being high but also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are other choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug 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 is also taken every day, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
