One of the outpatient treatment options for clients in Costa battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low amounts however, the client does not experience being high but also does not experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are alternative options to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be given in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
