One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Newton who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low enough doses however, the individual does not experience being high and also does not experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this sole purpose, but there are other options to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone 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.
