One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for individuals in Roy struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low enough amounts however, the user doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this sole purpose, but there are other options to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. A person taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. 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 an individual 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 monthly.
