One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Millstone who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low amounts however, the individual does not experience high feelings but also does not have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are other options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be given in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 /month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. A person taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't 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 high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
