One of the outpatient treatment options for clients in Edgeley who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. In low amounts however, the client doesn't experience being high but also doesn't have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this sole purpose, but there are other options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. 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 one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can 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 $300.00 /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
