One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for clients in Monmouth who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low amounts the individual does not experience being high but also does not experience severe cravings and is not 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 can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300.00 per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opiate 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, it prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
