One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Clifton battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. In low doses the client does not feel high and also does not experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are alternative options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone taking this version of the drug, 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 costs around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual 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.
