One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Spring Lake who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. With low doses however, the user does not experience being high but also does not have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are a few more choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars a month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, 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 around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
