One of the out-patient treatment options for people in Union Center battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low enough doses however, the individual does not experience being high but also does not experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
