One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for individuals in West Newbury battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid dependent people, many that are opioids themselves and are addiction. In low doses however, the client does not experience high feelings and also does not have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are other choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around just under $300 a month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this version of the drug, also known as 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 costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person 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 monthly.
