One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Asbury Park who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. In low enough amounts the user does not experience high feelings and also does not have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this reason, but there are alternative options to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about just under $300 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. An individual consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken every day, and is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
