One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for clients in Andover who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low doses the individual doesn't experience high feelings and also does not have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300 monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
