One of the out-patient rehab options for clients in North Conway battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. In low doses the client does not experience high feelings and also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are alternative choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
