One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for clients in Scandia who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low enough doses however, the user does not experience being high and also does not experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are other options to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
