One of the outpatient rehab options for individuals in Hampton who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low amounts however, the client doesn't experience being high and also does not have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced around $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that 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 anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
