One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for clients in Mount Calvary battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low enough amounts the client does not experience high feelings but also does not experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are other choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. A person taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
