One of the outpatient rehab options for clients in Plymouth struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low doses the user doesn't feel high but also doesn't experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this reason, but there are alternative choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to administer the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 a month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
