One of the out-patient rehab options for individuals in Trenton who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to administer certain meds to opioid dependent individuals, many that are opioids also and are habit forming. With low amounts the individual doesn't experience high feelings but also does not have intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this purpose, but there are other options to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The cost of the med is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone that is only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars monthly for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, that is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs around $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
