One of the outpatient treatment options for clients in Pandora battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low enough doses the individual doesn't experience being high but also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are alternative options to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300 a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
