One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for clients in Royal City struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low enough doses however, the individual doesn't feel high but also does not have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are a few more choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
