One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for individuals in Bronson battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids also and are addictive. In low enough doses the individual does not experience high feelings and also does not have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are a few more options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. 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 every day, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it 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.
