One of the out-patient treatment options for clients in Cleveland who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids also and are addictive. With low enough doses the user does not experience high feelings and also does not experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are other choices to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone 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 /month.
