One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for clients in Foley battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low enough doses the user doesn't experience high feelings but also does not experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are a few more choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual consuming 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 every day, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
