One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for individuals in Gardner who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low doses however, the user does not experience being high and also doesn't have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this reason, but there are other options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300 /month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
