One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for people in Belle Mead struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted clients, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. With low enough amounts however, the client doesn't feel high and also doesn't have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are other choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to dispense the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is about $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, 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 anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
