One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for individuals in Maywood battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to dispense certain meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioid-based themselves and are habit forming. In low enough doses the client doesn't feel high but also does not have acute cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this sole purpose, but there are a few more options to select from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is around under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone that is only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about three hundred dollars monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, also known as Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs around $450 per month. Naltrexone is another med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone 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 a month.
