One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for individuals in Erbacon who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low doses however, the individual doesn't experience being high but also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are alternative options to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual 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 every day, and costs approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
