One of the outpatient treatment options for clients in Crump battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low enough doses the user does not feel high and also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this sole purpose, but there are other choices to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming 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 daily, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is 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, it prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
