One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for clients in Wilton battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low enough amounts however, the individual doesn't experience high feelings and also does not experience acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are other options to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
