One of the outpatient treatment options for people in Woodbine who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are authorized to give specific medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioid-based also and are addictive. In low enough amounts however, the individual doesn't feel high but also does not experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication used for this sole purpose, but there are alternative choices currently to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an outpatient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is about under $200 per month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is a pill often taken every other day. But unlike Methadone which can only be administered in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately three hundred dollars per month for the generic of the drug. There is also a type of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, which is a med which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual taking this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs about $450 monthly. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs mentioned here it is an opiate blocker and isn't an opioid. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents a person from feeling high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 monthly.
