One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for people in Atlantic struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids also and are addiction. With low amounts the client does not feel high but also doesn't experience intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this reason, but there are alternative choices to choose from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is around $150 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 which is only be dispensed in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars monthly for the generic version of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. A person taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
