One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for individuals in Middletown Springs struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. In low doses the client does not experience high feelings but also does not have intense cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this reason, but there are other options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around just under $300 a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option 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 a month.
