One of the out-patient rehab options for individuals in West Swanzey who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low amounts the individual doesn't feel high but also does not experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars per month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
