One of the out-patient rehab options for individuals in Millville battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. In low amounts however, the user doesn't experience high feelings and also does not experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are alternative options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. Someone 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 is also taken every day, and costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
