One of the outpatient rehab options for clients in Morris who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids also and are addiction. In low enough amounts the user doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are other choices to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which reverses 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 costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not 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 someone from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
