One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for people in Edgewater who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low doses the individual does not experience high feelings and also doesn't experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are a few more options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost 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 unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 /month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. A person taking 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 is also taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, 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.
