One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for individuals in Revillo battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low enough doses however, the individual does not feel high but also does not experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are alternative choices to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is 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 a person from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
