One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for people in Milladore battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. In low enough doses however, the user doesn't feel high and also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are other options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost 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 different from Methadone that is only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming 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 a month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
