One of the outpatient treatment options for people in Chase battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to administer specific medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low amounts however, the individual does not experience high feelings and also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are a few more options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about under $200 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 that is only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars per month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
