One of the outpatient treatment options for clients in Clifton struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low doses however, the client does not experience high feelings and also does not have intense cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are other options to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and is meant to be taken at an outpatient clinic certified to dispense the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from experience being high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
