One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for clients in Otto who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low enough amounts however, the user doesn't experience being high but also does not experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are other choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 a month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. A person taking this version of the drug, AKA 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 approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
