One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for people in Burlington who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low amounts the user does not experience being high but also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this sole purpose, but there are other options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about just under $300 a month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. An individual taking 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 every day, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
