One of the out-patient treatment options for clients in Mount Braddock battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low enough amounts however, the user does not experience being high but also does not experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this formulation, 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 a month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
