One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for people in Trenton struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. In low enough amounts the individual does not experience high feelings but also does not experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are alternative choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. 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 is only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone consuming 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 approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another medication taken 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 medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
