One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for clients in Fair Haven struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to administer certain medications to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addiction. With low enough amounts however, the user does not experience high feelings but also does not have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this reason, but there are other choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300 monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 per month.
