One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Rockport who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. With low amounts the individual doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this purpose, but there are alternative options to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
