One of the out-patient rehabilitation alternatives for people in Tuckerton who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some clinics and doctors are authorized to administer specific meds to opioid addicted individuals, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. With low enough doses however, the client doesn't experience high feelings but also doesn't have severe cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this sole purpose, but there are other choices to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to administer the med, that is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based med, and is a pill often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is about $300 monthly for the generic version of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opioids. A person taking 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 costs around $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this medication as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
