One of the outpatient rehab options for individuals in Lambertville who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. With low doses the client does not experience high feelings and also does not experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are a few more choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult 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 another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
