One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Weston battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids also and are addictive. In low enough amounts however, the individual does not experience being high and also does not experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are other options to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 per month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
