One of the outpatient treatment options for clients in Majestic who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low enough doses however, the individual does not experience high feelings but also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are alternative options to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking 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 approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
