One of the out-patient treatment options for clients in Hubbard battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to administer specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. With low enough doses the client doesn't experience being high and also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. 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 is also taken every day, and is priced around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
