One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Ballentine who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low enough doses however, the client does not experience being high but also doesn't have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are alternative choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be given in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
