One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for clients in Gorum battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low enough doses however, the client doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
