One of the outpatient treatment options for clients in Jersey Mills struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to give certain meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low amounts however, the client doesn't experience high feelings but also does not have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this sole purpose, but there are other options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone that is only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
