One of the outpatient rehab options for individuals in Jersey struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids also and are addictive. In low doses however, the user does not feel high but also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are a few more options to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300.00 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
