One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for individuals in Pratt battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low enough doses the user doesn't feel high but also does not have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be given in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
