One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for people in North Quincy who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low doses however, the client does not experience being high and also does not have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this sole purpose, but there are other choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 a month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
