One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for clients in Plaza battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low enough amounts however, the client doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid 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 that is only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
