One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for individuals in Disney who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low amounts the client does not feel high and also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are alternative options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
