One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Princeton battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. In low enough amounts the user doesn't experience high feelings and also doesn't have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are alternative choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
