One of the outpatient treatment options for clients in Wayne who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low enough amounts however, the user doesn't experience being high and also doesn't have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are other options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 /month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. A person taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
