One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for individuals in Browns Mills battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are certified to administer specific medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. In low enough amounts the individual does not feel high but also does not experience severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are alternative options to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars monthly for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
