One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for individuals in Gothenburg battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low enough doses however, the client doesn't experience being high and also does not experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are a few more options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300 monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
