One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in Williamsburg who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid dependent people, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. In low amounts however, the user doesn't experience being high and also does not have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300 /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't 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 therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
