One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for individuals in Westfield struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low enough amounts the user doesn't experience being high and also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. Someone 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 costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
