One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for people in Carlstadt struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to give specific medications to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are addictive. With low enough amounts the individual doesn't feel high but also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this sole purpose, but there are other choices currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient medical center certified to administer the med, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 a month for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that blocks the effects of opiates. Someone consuming 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 costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
