One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in West Springfield Town struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low amounts however, the individual does not experience being high and also does not have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this sole purpose, but there are other choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
