One of the outpatient treatment options for people in Exeland who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low doses the individual does not experience high feelings but also doesn't experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 a month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking 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 about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which 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 injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
