One of the outpatient treatment options for people in Montville struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid dependent individuals, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. With low doses the user does not experience being high but also doesn't experience severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this purpose, but there are alternative options to pick from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient medical center certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the drug is around $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which is only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 /month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a drug that reverses the effects of opioids. An individual taking this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken on a daily basis, and costs about $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional med taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
