One of the out-patient rehab options for clients in Washington Crossing who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based also and are habit forming. With low enough doses the user doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this purpose, but there are other options to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
