One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Glen Gardner who are struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids themselves and are habit forming. With low amounts however, the individual does not experience high feelings but also does not have intense cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med used for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options currently to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the med, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be given in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around three hundred dollars monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. A person taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and is priced about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. A person has the choice 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 injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
