One of the out-patient treatment options for people in Roxie who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low enough doses however, the individual doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are a few more choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. 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 costs around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
