One of the outpatient rehabilitation alternatives for clients in Manchester who are struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed clinics and doctors are certified to administer certain medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids also and are addictive. With low amounts however, the individual doesn't experience being high but also does not experience severe cravings and isn't in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug used for this sole purpose, but there are alternative options to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to administer the drug, that is taken daily in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be given in highly well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is around $300 per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opiates. A person taking this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken daily, and costs approximately $450 per month. Naltrexone is another drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications aforementioned it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, it prevents someone from experience high feelings from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 /month.
