One of the outpatient treatment options for individuals in Central City who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low enough doses however, the client does not feel high and also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are alternative options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person 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 a month.
