One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for individuals in Elizabeth struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids also and are addiction. With low amounts however, the user doesn't experience being high and also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are other choices to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual 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 costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, 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 shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
