One of the outpatient rehab options for people in Haddon Heights struggling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to give specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low doses the user does not experience high feelings and also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication administered for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options to pick from.
Methadone is an opiate 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 cost of the med is about $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which is only be administered in structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional drug used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is 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, the drug 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.
