One of the outpatient treatment options for people in Jersey who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low enough amounts the individual does not experience high feelings but also does not have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are alternative choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to administer the drug, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about under $200 per 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 administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual 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 daily, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opiate. 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 shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
