One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Bloomfield struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low doses however, the user does not feel high and also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are other options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about just under $300 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid 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, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
