One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for individuals in Amo who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low doses however, the individual doesn't feel high but also doesn't have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
