One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for clients in Monponsett struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low enough amounts however, the user doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this purpose, but there are alternative choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient 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 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. 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 on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
