One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in Blue Point who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. With low enough amounts the user does not feel high and also does not have acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are other choices to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300.00 per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. Someone taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't 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 a person from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
