One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for people in Sudbury who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low doses however, the individual does not feel high and also does not experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this sole purpose, but there are other choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. A person 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 is also taken daily, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
