One of the out-patient rehab options for clients in Montville who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low enough doses the client doesn't feel high and also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered 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 naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
