One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for clients in Holland battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. In low enough amounts the user does not experience being high but also does not have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are other options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
