One of the out-patient treatment alternatives for clients in Marlboro who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids also and are addiction. In low enough doses however, the client doesn't feel high but also doesn't experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug administered for this reason, but there are other choices to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is around $150 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that is only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 /month for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. An individual consuming 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 too is taken every day, and is priced around $450 monthly. Naltrexone is another medication taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
