One of the outpatient treatment options for clients in Paris struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low enough doses however, the user does not experience high feelings but also doesn't have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are other choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that 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 a month.
