One of the outpatient treatment options for people in Jordan who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low enough doses however, the client does not feel high and also does not have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are other choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 /month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. A person 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 every day, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug 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 a month.
