One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in West Elizabeth struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids also and are addictive. In low amounts however, the individual doesn't experience being high but also does not have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are other choices to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to dispense the drug, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 per month for the generic version of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone consuming 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 daily, and costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication 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 anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
