One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for clients in New Hampshire struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. With low enough amounts however, the user does not experience being high and also does not experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
