One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Ocean City who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low doses however, the client does not experience high feelings 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 alternative choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. An individual taking this version of the drug, AKA 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 costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug 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, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
