One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for clients in West Tisbury battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low doses however, the user does not experience high feelings but also does not have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be given in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 /month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that 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 daily, and is priced about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
