One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for clients in Donie who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. With low enough doses the user does not experience high feelings but also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are other options to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person 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 per month.
