One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for clients in Avery battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. In low enough amounts the client doesn't feel high and also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are a few more options to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
