One of the out-patient rehab options for individuals in Edison battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low doses the individual does not experience high feelings and also does not have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication 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 in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
