One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for clients in West Hartland who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low enough amounts the user does not experience high feelings and also does not experience acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which 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 injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
