One of the outpatient treatment options for people in Manor who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. In low amounts the client does not feel high and also does not experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are other options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
