One of the outpatient treatment options for clients in Paxinos who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low enough doses however, the individual doesn't experience high feelings but also does not have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are other options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
