One of the outpatient rehab options for clients in Milford who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to administer specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low doses however, the individual does not experience high feelings but also does not experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are other options to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
