One of the out-patient treatment options for clients in Peculiar battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low doses however, the user doesn't feel high but also does not have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this version of the drug, also known as 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 about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it 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 per month.
