One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for clients in Morristown struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low amounts however, the user does not experience high feelings and also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this purpose, but there are other options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 /month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
