One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Milford battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low amounts the client does not experience high feelings but also does not experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are other options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
