One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in Princeton who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low doses the user does not experience high feelings and also does not experience intense 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 pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars 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 administered in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 /month for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. Someone taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, 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 shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
