One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for clients in Inman battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids also and are addiction. With low amounts however, the user does not feel high and also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are a few more options to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. A person taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is 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, the drug prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
