One of the outpatient treatment options for individuals in Oxbow struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. With low enough amounts the user does not feel high but also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are alternative options to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that 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 in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
