One of the out-patient rehab options for clients in Rutherford battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids also and are addiction. In low enough amounts the individual does not feel high and also does not experience acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are a few more choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in well-regulated 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 version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opiates. A person 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 is also taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
