One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for clients in South Park who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. With low enough doses the individual doesn't feel high but also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are a few more choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost 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, which is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming 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 too is taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
