One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in East Princeton struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low amounts the individual doesn't experience being high but also does not experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are a few more choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
