One of the out-patient treatment options for people in Ramer who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low amounts the user doesn't experience high feelings and also does not have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are a few more choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
