One of the out-patient treatment options for people in Philip battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low enough doses however, the individual does not feel high and also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300 per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug 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 drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
