One of the out-patient treatment options for clients in Climax who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids also and are addictive. In low amounts however, the client does not feel high but also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
