One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for individuals in High Bridge struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to administer specific medications to opioid dependent people, many that are opioid-based also and are addiction. In low doses however, the client doesn't feel high and also does not have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. A person consuming 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 too is taken every day, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
