One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for individuals in Groton who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low enough doses however, the client doesn't feel high and also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are a few more choices to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming 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 costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate 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 experience being 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.
