One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in New Castle struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to administer specific medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids also and are addictive. In low doses the user doesn't feel high and also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are other choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. A person taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
