One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Newport battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids themselves and are addiction. With low doses the user doesn't feel high and also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are a few more options to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is approximately under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around $300 monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 monthly.
