One of the outpatient treatment options for individuals in Republican City struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low doses however, the user doesn't experience being high but also does not have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are alternative options to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this version of the drug, 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 around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
