One of the outpatient treatment options for clients in Battlefield struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low amounts however, the user doesn't experience high feelings but also does not experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are other choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone 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.
