One of the out-patient treatment options for people in Modena battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low enough amounts however, the user doesn't feel high and also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are alternative options to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. A person 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 approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
