One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for individuals in Warwick who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids also and are addiction. In low doses the client doesn't experience being high but also doesn't experience acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are alternative options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. Someone consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
