One of the outpatient treatment options for clients in Jay struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. With low amounts however, the individual does not experience high feelings and also does not experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
