One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for people in Trinity battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. With low amounts the user does not experience being high and also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are a few more choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which 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 anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
