One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Glen Ridge who are battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low doses however, the client does not feel high and also does not have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this purpose, but there are alternative choices to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which is only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars per month for the generic of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a med which blocks the effects of opiates. An individual taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and is priced approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
