One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for individuals in Roxbury struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low doses the client does not feel high but also does not have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are other options to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. A person 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 on a daily basis, and is priced around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
