One of the out-patient rehab options for individuals in Ocean Bluff who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low amounts however, the user doesn't experience high feelings and also does not experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are alternative choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not 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 an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
