One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for clients in Ashley battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low amounts however, the user does not feel high but also does not experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
