One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for people in Sutton battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low enough doses however, the client does not feel high but also does not experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this sole purpose, but there are other choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
