One of the out-patient treatment options for people in Concan battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low amounts the user doesn't feel high but also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are other choices to choose 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 as a pill or liquid. The price 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 which is only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 a month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this version of the drug, 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 on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone 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 per month.
