One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for clients in Niederwald who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to administer specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low doses the client doesn't feel high and also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are alternative choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be given in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300.00 per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. A person 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 too is taken every day, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that 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 shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
