Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids also and are addiction.

The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this version of the drug, 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 around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
