One of the outpatient rehab alternatives for individuals in Garwood battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. With low amounts however, the individual does not experience being high but also doesn't have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this reason, but there are other choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the med is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300.00 /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs approximately $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
