One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for individuals in Pierson who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low enough doses however, the individual doesn't experience being high but also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are alternative options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder 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 used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
