One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in Hathorne battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. In low enough doses the client doesn't experience high feelings and also does not experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are other choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. 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 experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
