One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for clients in Damar struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low doses the client does not feel high and also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are alternative choices to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the drug, which 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 opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about just under $300 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. A person taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
