One of the out-patient treatment options for clients in Lumber City who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low amounts the client doesn't experience being high but also does not have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
