One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in Chester Heights who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low enough amounts the individual does not experience high feelings and also doesn't have severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are a few more options to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option 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 injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
