One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for clients in West Harwich who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low enough doses however, the individual does not experience being high and also does not have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this sole purpose, but there are other options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a 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 structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
