One of the out-patient treatment options for people in Treadwell battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. With low amounts the user doesn't experience high feelings and also does not experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are alternative choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which reverses 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 too is taken every day, and costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
