One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Gibbsboro who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to dispense specific medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids also and are addictive. With low doses the individual does not feel high but also does not have severe cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are other choices to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to administer the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the med is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opiate blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents an individual from feeling 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.
