One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in Acton battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to administer specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low enough amounts the user does not experience high feelings but also does not experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are alternative choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around under $200 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 can only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone 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 per month.
