One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for people in West Groton battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low enough amounts however, the client doesn't experience being high but also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are a few more options to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price 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 is only be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option 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 therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
