One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in North Pomfret who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low enough doses the individual doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this sole purpose, but there are other choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the med, that 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 a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately $300 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual 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 every day, and is priced about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
