One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for clients in Ethel battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. With low doses the user does not experience being high and also does not have acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are alternative choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300 a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
