One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for clients in Northford struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low doses the user does not experience being high and also does not experience severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. A person taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication 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 drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from getting 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.
