One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Kittery Point battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids also and are addictive. With low enough amounts however, the user does not experience being high and also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are other options to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately $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 is only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual 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 a month.
