One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in Hurley who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. In low enough doses however, the individual does not feel high and also does not experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are alternative choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price 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 structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around just under $300 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that blocks 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 is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
