One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for individuals in White House struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low enough amounts the user doesn't experience being high and also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are alternative choices to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. 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 too is taken every day, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not 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 a person from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
