One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for people in Concord struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low amounts the client does not feel high but also does not experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are a few more 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 med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that 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 on a daily basis, and costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
