One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in West Millbury struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. With low enough doses the individual doesn't experience being high and also does not have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this reason, but there are a few more options to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 a month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced around $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opiate 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 someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
