One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for people in Half Way who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low doses the client doesn't experience being high but also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
