One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Flemington who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to give specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are addiction. With low amounts however, the individual does not experience being high but also does not experience acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that can only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about just under $300 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
