One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for clients in Eddy who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to give certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low amounts the individual does not feel high but also does not experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are alternative choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300 a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid 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 someone from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
