One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Dover struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low enough doses however, the user doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this purpose, but there are other choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300.00 /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking 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 daily, and is priced around $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from getting 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.
