One of the outpatient rehab options for people in Trenton battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low enough doses however, the client does not experience being high but also does not have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this purpose, but there are other options to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, AKA 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's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
