One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for clients in Newbury struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low doses the client does not feel high but also does not experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 a month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, AKA 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 drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
