One of the out-patient rehabilitation options for people in Strafford who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to dispense certain medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. With low enough doses the user doesn't feel high but also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this purpose, but there are alternative options to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 per month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult 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 drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned 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, the drug prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
