One of the out-patient treatment options for individuals in Alcove battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low doses the user doesn't experience being high and also does not experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are alternative options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
