One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for individuals in Sandy Hook who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. With low enough amounts the user does not feel high and also doesn't have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are other options to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a 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 given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone taking this version of the drug, 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 around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug 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.
