One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for individuals in Lefor battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low enough amounts the individual does not experience high feelings but also does not have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are a few more choices to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300 /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid 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 a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
