One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for individuals in Concord struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low enough doses the user does not experience being high but also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are other options to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med 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 too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. 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 an individual from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
