One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for individuals in Wrightstown who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to give certain meds to opioid addicted people, many that are opioids also and are addiction. With low enough amounts however, the user doesn't experience high feelings but also does not have severe cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient clinic certified to dispense the med, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is around one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately $300.00 per month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opioids. An individual taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs about $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. A person has the choice 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 therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 a month.
