One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for individuals in Boelus who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low doses however, the individual doesn't experience being high and also does not experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
