One of the outpatient rehab options for people in East Granby struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids also and are addictive. With low enough amounts the client does not feel high but also doesn't experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person 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.
