One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for people in Bloomfield who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. With low enough amounts however, the user doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone 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 costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opioid 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, the drug prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
