One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for clients in Dumont battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioid-based also and are habit forming. In low enough amounts however, the individual doesn't experience high feelings but also does not experience intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are other options to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300 monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
